An unusual wintry mix of snow and hail fell across portions of Sonoma County beginning Wednesday afternoon ahead of a larger storm expected to roll through the area Thursday night into Friday morning. Scattered rain showers and light snow were reported across the county, with patches of hail reported just after 1:30 p.m. in Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park. Light flakes were observed falling in the afternoon along the county's coastal mountains and reaching down to faintly dust the valley floor. Heavier precipitation slated to start Thursday evening will leave behind snow-capped mountains that should be visible Friday morning.
